## What it is
gmailctl is a Go CLI tool that lets you manage Gmail filters declaratively using Jsonnet configuration files. It applies filters directly through the Gmail API, with features like query simplification, diffing, and testing.

## Use cases
- manage gmail filters as code
- declaratively configure gmail labels and filters
- apply email filters via gmail api instead of manual xml import
- refactor and test gmail filter rules
- keep gmail filters under the 1500 character limit
- sync filter configuration across multiple gmail accounts

## When to avoid
- you only have a handful of simple filters and the Gmail UI is sufficient
- you need YAML configuration, which is unsupported
- you don't want to grant OAuth2 API access to your Gmail account
